Apimetro vs Transport for Norway

Apimetro

Apimetro is an independent developer's geospatial dataset covering Mexico City's public-transport network — Metro, Metrobús, Cablebús, RTP, Trolebús, Tren Ligero, Mexicable, Mexibús, and CETRAM hubs — with per-station and per-line lookups, ready-to-render GeoJSON geometries, and historical ridership (afluencia) figures. Every endpoint answers without a key despite a BasicAuth scheme declared in its Swagger doc, and it's distributed under the Business Source License 1.1.

Transport for Norway

Entur is Norway's national registry for public transport data. It combines schedules and real-time updates from more than 60 operators, with 21,000 departures a day. It offers a GraphQL Journey Planner at https://api.entur.io/journey-planner/v3/graphql, a REST geocoder (v3) for address and place lookups, SIRI real-time feeds, and NeTEx static feeds. Access is free and keyless for read use. Entur asks each consumer to add an ET-Client-Name header, and it may rate-limit traffic that doesn't. The old developer.entur.org portal still publishes API changes, but Entur will retire it once its content moves to developer.entur.no.
